Warning Signs Of Arachnoiditis

Inability to Sweat

One symptom that may occur alongside arachnoiditis is an inability to sweat, referred to as anhidrosis. Trouble sweating can cause the body to overheat. Normally, sweat helps to cool the body, but when this function is impaired, the body has trouble cooling down normally. If anhidrosis leads to heat stroke, the complications have the potential to be fatal. An inability to sweat can be hard to diagnose. In mild cases, affected individuals may not even notice it. Arachnoiditis isn't the only condition that can cause anhidrosis, but it is one of the more serious ones. If an individual experiencing anhidrosis and any other neurological or sensory-related issues, it's best to see a doctor as soon as possible.
